Proof - Carta

This is one of my top places in Des Moines. Try the second Saturday dinner for a fantastic experience, unique and delicious foods and incredible wine pairings. The staff are absolutely wonderful every time! Definitely a higher cost, but worth it if you like a bit of culinary adventure!

Proof is my favorite restaurant in the Des Moines area. The chef truly knows how to create beautiful and flavorful dishes. I highly recommend this place—it's the best! Some people argue that it’s too pricey, but I’ve been to other high-end restaurants, and at Proof, the quality makes every penny worth it. Give it a try, and I’m confident you’ll enjoy it as much as we do!

This was one of the best meals I’ve ever had. We did the tasting menu with wine pairing and it was unbelievably divine! In fact, one of the courses was in the top 3 of the best foods I’ve ever eaten, up with Nobu in New York and Roses Luxury in DC.And the service staff was amazing- attentive, knowledgeable, friendly, and approachable. If you want to spoil yourself, rundon’t walk. Ver carta

I came in last night with a group of chefs from out of town. Granted this makes a lot of chefs nervous, but we were wowed all evening! I think we tried most of the menu and it was all excellent. Best for me was the pork! I don't know where you source that, but I don't live there.....message me! Amy was a spectacular server, the cocktails fabulous. You can't go wrong here! Thanks all! Best food in Des Moines, period.

This place is always amazing! It?s our favorite restaurant in Des Moines Metro for outstanding flavors and unique dishes! The drinks and service are exquisite. We have been many times. We recently went for our anniversary and splurged with the chefs menuand an extra dessert! See the menu image to see what we had. The menu changes so it will likely be different when you go, buteverything has been delicious. I wish they would bring the beet and marshmallow salad back it was soooo good! Ver carta

We have had our eye on Proof for a while now.... high expectations we had were surpassed by the service, atmosphere, food and drinks. The Iowa ribeye was the very best that I have ever had. The char on the outside combined with the medium rare temp was absolutely perfect. The fried veggies, crisp green beans all the sauces that was magically drizzled along the side to dip. Heavenly!! The recommended cocktail was a wonderful drink to bring out all the flavors of each dish. We will definitely be back!

My first time at this restaurant was last weekend for the New Year's Eve 5 course dinner. Proof you have ruined one thing. Now that I know what good food is suppose to taste like, nothing compares now. That had to be one of the best meals I have ever eaten. It was so flavorful. We were there for two hours and did not feel rushed at all. Our server Jared was so patient, knowledgable, and a great conversationalist. We are not drinkers and he spent a bit of time with us figuring out the best drink and it did not disappoint. I would like to thank Proof for such a wonderful experience. You really showed my mother who came to Iowa to visit a really great time. We talked about it the rest of the ni...

I am so beyond impressed with Proof. The first time my husband and I went was the best restaurant experience we have ever had. The staff greeted us upon arrival and we got a table right away with no reservations. I know that's probably unusual so we always make them now but as new parents on our first night out on a Sat, we were very pleased. Our server came to our table promptly and offered us drinks before telling us the specials. My husband and I took a few minutes to read over the menu. When he returned, my husband asked what was his favorite on the menu. Our server said the steak. Now hubby NEVER EVER orders steak from a restaurant. It's never as good as what we make at home but on a wh... Ver carta
